Abstract

hotSPICE is a linear thermal circuit simulation tool. Resistors, capacitors, temperature sources and heat sources can be used in any combination to model thermal problems. Both steady-state and transient analyses can be performed. Plots can be generated for temperature at any node in the circuit, as well for heat transfer across any temperature source. hotSPICE is intended for undergraduate heat transfer students.
